Seek and yea shall find

It is found. So happy. I was doubting I could reproduce it.

When I am painting backgrounds, it is all done on instinct. What looks right to my eye what speaks to me. No notes on colours used etc. just grabbing the material which jumps out of the drawer. So very happy to have found it safe and well at Grandchildrens.These 9 patches began life - if you remember- on a A3 sheet of drawing paper so they had a connection.

Happy, very happy to have it home.

.Attach some shells and add writing. 2 patches still to be waxed and they are ready to be mounted.

This is the last of my seaweed wrapped fabric. It was left in a rock pool.This will be a long narrow piece of work using an old embroidery technique. Faggoting. If you have used this technique you will realize I am using it My Way. Does that sound like a song?I have gone back to looking at fences again. Plan to use sticks to join fabric. Perhaps photos behind.Lots to think about. At very early stages but next piece of work in the planning.

Ah, luck is on your side with finding your lost block. The nine patch is looking gorgeous! They are all wonderfully looking and interesting squares. Your new inspiration board looks pretty interesting as well.

About Me

Welcome to my blog.
My plan is to post every Sunday at 5.00 P.M. British time.
I will be recording my work using a variety of art materials and fabric, hopefully, to produce finished textiles for exhibition.
My name is Maureen also known locally as the lady who buries fabric in the local fields. I then add my own stitched and painted marks to tell stories about my rural environment.
I am a wife, mother, grandmother and gardener.
